Northwestern up 7-0 with :46 left in the second quarter.

Can Northwestern pull the upset for the second year in a row?

NW would be good if they could ever finish someone off.

Dan Persa ruptured achilles tendon. Will have surgery tonight. Bittersweet day for Northwestern.

When NU is on, they can play with anyone. They just haven't been able to close teams out.
